  • Angry Sun: The Angry Sun of Super Mario Bros. 3 makes an appearance in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas", where he lunges at the Mario Bros. as they search for Super Leaves. He apparently isn't very smart, for shortly after the Marios have transformed, he mistakes them for flying raccoons and asks if they've seen where the plumbers disappeared to.
  • Bowser's mother: Comes for her son's wedding in "Do You Princess Toadstool Take This Koopa...?" She is apparently disappointed in the fact that he's still single.

  • Holly Mackeral: The mermaid princess of the underwater city of Mertropolis, and the ugly mermaid of the episode's title. She apparently cannot tell the difference between a real frog and a man dressed as a frog, and thus mistakenly believes the Frog Suited Mario to be a frog prince.
  • Indiana Joe: An Indiana Jones-esque explorer who helps Mario and company find the Lost Mushroom, but has a fear of the Koopas (akin to Jones' fear of snakes). He gets over his phobia after a failed attempt at babysitting. For some reason, he is drawn without an actual face.
